Capillary fringe divides the groundwater and the vadose zone controlling the diffusive mass transfer of contaminants and gases. The thickness of capillary fringe is of great importance for the rate of contaminant mass transfer across the capillary fringe. Application of surface active chemicals including surfactants and alcohol-based products into the subsurface environment changes the surface tension of the aqueous phase, which in turn, affects the thickness of the capillary fringe. In this study, a bench-scale model was used to assess the quantitative relationship between the surface tension and the thickness of the capillary fringe. An anionic surfactant (Sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate, SDBS) and an aqueous solution of ethanol were used to control the surface tension of the groundwater. It was found that the thickness of the capillary fringe is directly proportional to the surface tension. The air entry pressures measured by the Tempe Pressure Cell at different surface tensions using SDBS (200 mg/L) and ethanol (20%, v/v) solutions were in good agreement with the thicknesses of the capillary fringe measured by the model. A simple method to correct the conventional Brooks-Corey model for estimating the air entry pressure was also presented.

A model for estimating daily effective rainfall of upland crops was developed. The infiltration process was described by Green-Ampt infiltration model developed by Chu(1978). The model considers delayed surface ponding and surface detention storage under a uniform soil profile. The Green-Ampt parameters, that is, average hydraulic conductivity and average capillary pressure head on a sandy loam soil were determined from field experiment using Air-entry permeameter developed by Bouwer(1966). The model was verified by comparing measured and simulated surface runoff. The ratios of effective rainfall to total rainfall for red pepper, soybean, sesame and Chinese cabbage were evaluated using Borg's root growth model( 1986) respectively. The followings are a summary of this study results; 1.In a sandy loam soil average hydraulic conductivity was 3.28cm/hr and average capillary pressure head was 3.00cm. 2.The root growth of upland crops could be expressed by Borg's root growth model successively. 3.The measured and simulated surface runoff was agreed well with each other. 4.As the rainfall amount was increased, the ratio of effective rainfall to total rainfall was decreased exponentially till a certain growing period.

The purposes of this study are to develop three-layered Green-Ampt infiltration model considering temporal variation of physical properties of soil and to evaluate the model with field experiment on bare-tilled and soybean-growing soil plots under natural rainfalls. Infiltration tests were conducted on a sandy loam soil. The model has three-layered soil profile including a surface crust, a tilled layer, a subsoil and considers temporal variation of porosity, hydraulic conductivity, capillary pressure head on a tilled layer by natural rainfalls and canopy density variation of crop. Field measurement of porosity, average hydraulic conductivity and average capillary presure head on a tilled layer were conducted by soil sampler and air-entry permeameter at regular intervals-after tillage. It was found that temporal variation of porosity and average hydraulic conductivity might be expressed as a function of cumulative rainfall energy and average capillary pressure head might be expressed as a function of porosity of a tilled soil. The model was calibrated by an optimization technique, Hooke and Jeeves method using hourly surface runoff data. With the calibrated parameters, the model was verified satisfactorily.

Previous studies postulated insignificant capillary rise (h_c) effect above the water table (H_w) for unsaturated soils. In addition, these studies utilised dry unit weight above H_w. This paper, therefore, addresses the effect of these postulations on strength where the influence of h_c using a modified upper bound approach, Discontinuity Layout Optimization (UNSAT-DLO) for a simulated soil was predicted. Two different parametric studies to model passive earth pressure and bearing capacity problems are carried out to provide an insight into the effect of capillary rise on strength. Significant increase in strength, owing to unsaturated conditions, was obtained where the maximum increase was when suction slightly less or greater than the air entry suction. On the other hand, the results showed a negative effect of h_c. For example, up to 8.24% decrease in passive thrust (P_p) was obtained at H_w=0 m when h_c rose 1 m from 0 m. To put this into perspective, this was equivalent to a decrease of about 2° in 𝜙 at H_w=0 m and h_c =0 m in order to obtain the same result at h_c =1 m. For the bearing capacity problem, the effect was seen to be higher, up to 18.4% decrease in N_𝛾 was obtained when h_c rose from 0 m to 2.5 m at H_w =0 m. In addition, the results revealed a negative influence of assigning dry unit weight above H_w or h_c.. However, considerable increase in strength was obtained when unsaturated unit weight above h_c was assigned.

낮은 응력 단계에서 모래의 인장강도는 포화도 또는 흡입력에 따라 증가하다. 최대값에 도달한 후 감소한다. 최대인 장강도는 어느 포화도에서든 발생될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 습윤 모래의 인장강도를 정확히 예측할 수 있는 이론이 제시되었다. 이 이론은 닫힌 형태의 식으로 pendular, funicular, capillary 세 가지로 구분되는 함수특성곡선 전체 영역을 하나로 통일하여 표현하였다. 낮은 응력 단계에서 내부마찰각 ${\phi}_t$, 공기침투압(air entry pressure)의 역수값 ${\alpha}$, 간극크기범위변수(pore size spectrum parameter) n 등 세 가지 변수가 이론에 사용되었다. 공기침투압 역수값이 최대인장강도를 지배하는 주 요인으로 작용하고, 최대인장강도가 발생될 때 포화도는 오직 간극크기범위변수에만 의존한다.

This study refers to temporal variation of physical properties of tilled soil under natural rainfalls. Field measurements of porosity, average hydraulic conductivity and average capillary pressure head on a tilled soil were conducted by soil sampler and air-entry permeameter respectively at regular intervals after tillage. Temporal variation of these physical properties were analysed by cumulative rainfall energy since tillage. Field experiment was conducted on a sandy loam soil at Suwon durging April~July in 1989. The followings are a summary of this study results ; 1. Average porosity just after tillage was 0.548cm$^3$/cm$^3$. As cumulative rainfall energy were increased in 0.1070, 0.1755, 0.3849 J/cm$^2$, average porosity were decreased in 0.506, 0.4]95, 0.468m$^3$/cm$^3$ respectively. 2. Average hydraulic conductivity just after tillage was 45.42cm/hr. As cumulative rainfall energy were increased in 0.1755, 0.2466, 0.2978, 0.3849J/cm$^2$ average hydraulic conductivity were decreased in 15.34, 13.47, 9.58, 8.65cm/hr respectively. 3. As average porosity were decreased in 0.548, 0.506, 0.495, 0.468cm$^3$/cm$^3$ average capillary pressure head were increased in 6.1, 6.7, 6.9, 7.4cm respectively. 4. It was found that temporal variation of porosity, average hydraulic conductivity on a tilled soil might be expressed as a function of cumulative rainfall energy and average capillary pressure head might be expressed as a function of porosity. 5. The results of this study may be helpful to predict infiltration into a tilled soil more accurately by considering Temporal variation of physical properties of soil.

분말 입자 형태가 다른 2가지 스테인레스 강(SUS 316L)분말과 조성이 다른 2가지의 결합제를 이용하여 분말충전율의 변화를 가지도록 제조된 5가지 분말사출재에 대한 Bagley 보정 실험을 실시하여 Bagley 보정값에 대한 온도, 분말충전율, 분말 입자 형태 그리고 결 합제의 영향을 조사하였다. Bagley 보정값을 구하기 위한 자료 처리를 하는 과정에서 길이 가 긴 모세관(L/D=60) 의 압력손실이 Thixotropy에 의해서 감소한 현상을 발견하였다. 이는 모세관 점성측정기를 이용한 분말사출제의 점도 측정시 길이가 긴모세관의 사용이 바람직하 지 못하다는 것을 나타낸다. 분말사출재의 Bagley 보정값에 대한 온도와 결합제의 영향은 매우 미약하게 나타났는데 특히 결합제의 영향은 거의 나타나지 않는 것을 발견하였다. 분 말충전율과 분말 입자 형태의 Bagley 보정값에 대한 영향은 매우 크게 나타났으며 분말충 전율이 증가할수록 Bagley 보정값이 증가하고 분말 입자의 형태가 불규칙한 분말을 사용한 분말사출재의 보정값이 구형의 분말에 비해 높은 보정값을 나타냈다. 실험결과에 대한 고찰 결과, 분말사출재의 모세관 입출구에서 압력손실의 주 원인은 분말 이자간 마찰과 충돌이라 고 판단되었다.

Various Models of the moisture content-capillary pressure hysteresie based on the approach of domain concept in porous media are compared with each other, Model III-1(Mualem, 1984) is superio to others as expected. A new model based on Model III-1 is proposed of which asuumption is the linearization of P$$($\theta$) accounting for the pore blockage effect against air-entry. The feature of this model is that only one branch of boundary curve is needed to calibrate it, which is the advantage to Model III-1. The prediction of boundary drying curve from boundary wetting curve using this model is better than that using Model I-1, II-1 compared with the experimental data. This model is to simulate scanning curves, while Model I-1, II-1 is not.

본 연구에서는 공극 네트워크 모델을 이용하여 사질토의 함수특성곡선을 수치해석적으로 획득하였다. 주문진표준사의 시편을 고해상도 3차원 X-ray CT 촬영하여 공극 영상을 획득하였고, 이를 공극방과 공극목으로 이루어진 관망으로 재구성하였으며 이 때 관의 반경은 공극목의 최소반경으로 정의하였다. 모세관압에 영향을 미치는 공극목의 반경은 세선화알고리즘과 유클리디언 거리변환을 통해 계산하였다. 수치해석적으로 얻은 함수특성곡선을 실험결과와 비교하였으며, 수치해석 결과는 실험결과에 비해 공기함입치가 과대평가 되었으나 전체 모세관압은 유사한 분포를 나타냈다. 또한 실험결과로부터 도출된 상대투수율은 높은 포화도에서 수치해석 결과에 비해 큰 값을 보였다.

흙-습윤 특성곡선은 불포화토에서 물의 흐름, 다상유체에서의 상대투수계수, 그리고 흙의 강성 및 부피 변화를 이해하는데 필수적이다. 바이오폴리머는 미생물에 완전 분해가 가능한 자연에 무해한 친환경 물질이다. 따라서, 치토산, 폴리에틸렌 옥사이드, 잔탄검, 알지네이트염 및 폴리아크릴산 등과 같은 바이오폴리머가 지반복원, 지반성능향상 및 오일생산증진을 위해 연구되어왔다. 폴리아크릴산(polyacrylic acid)은 바이오폴리머의 일종으로, 유체의 흐름 특성 향상을 통하여 오일생산증진 및 지반복원 등의 분야에서 우수한 성능을 보여왔다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 폴리아크릴산(polyacrylic acid)을 포함한 모래의 흙-습윤 특성곡선의 이해하기 위해서 실내시험을 수행하고, 이론적 모델의 매개변수 변화를 연구하였다. 그 결과, 폴리아크릴산(polyacrylic acid)의 농도가 증가함에 따라, 포화된 모래에 주입되는 공기의 주입 모세관압력이 증가함을 보이고, 높은 모세관압력에서의 잔류 함수비 역시 증가하고 있음을 보였다. 또한, 이론식 모델의 매개변수를 구하였으며, 이를 활용한 흙-습윤 특성곡선이 실내 실험 결과와 잘 일치하고 있음을 보였다. 따라서, 이론적 모델의 매개변수를 알고 있으면, 본 연구에서 활용된 폴리아크릴산(polyacrylic acid)이외의 바이오폴리머를 포함한 모래 지반의 흙-습윤 특성곡선이 예측이 가능함을 설명하였다.
